I made some new Icons

[StickyNomad]

Hello there,
I made some replacement Icons for the Buttonbar in 256 colors and created some additional Icons for useful TC-Commands like quickview, show/hide tabs, compare files/dirs, etc.

Update 08/07/05: Get my new collection vicons3 here

For the old version Look here:
- screenshot
Download here:
- Zipfile (w Buttonbar Icons, Drivelib and Iconlib)

The drivelib is a version of Leftous' 'RemoveableDrive3Bitmaps.dll' with a modified FTP-Icon

I focused on 16x16 Icons coz thats the size I use, but maybe I'll add some big ones too some time.

These Icons are not to be concerned to be any kind of official release, and there is still work to do, so don't wonder if something looks not yet finished (especially if you try to switch to 32x32 Icons)

please feel free to drop me a comment if you like (or dislike) these Icons

Cool! Thanks a lot...

I wish I were that good at making icons, because I need some good ones for the menus in my program Registry Commander.

Keep up the good work

 Hi !
• Look nice, but I'll wait for the 32*32, because my old eyes are too tired to use 16*16...

• Thank you very much,

hm, maybe I'll have a look at your program and see if I could help you in some way. I absolutely can't promise anything, because I do this in my spare time, but if I'm able to help you, I will contact you at your aezay.dk-Adress on your homepage if that's OK for you (because this is quite a bit off-topic and I think we shouldn't discuss that in this forum)

Thanks Clo, I can assure you, my eyes get weaker too , so I'll go on editing the 32x32 and I'll announce when they're finished. But this could take some time...

Hey! What about TCScriptEditor Aezay?!

It is TC related anyway!

Not to mention that it's the best external addon to TC since... I don't know... Lister maybe?!!!

Hi there,
I just had a short look at TCScriptEditor, I didn't know this tool yet. I just can say, Wow, this is one handy add-on!
I just triewd out a few things but I'm already fascinated! I'll check the plugin-Forum for further Tips/docs because I'd like to know a few more things like if its possible to manipulate the size of TCs window, etc.

Great Job, Aezay! Keep on going!

You are right StickyNomad. TCScriptEditor is a real gem. I only wish we had a detailed help section not so much about the programme itself but about the commands with some examples and even better a collection of let's say wide-spread automated procedures.

You see, I still find it hard to use it although I do code myself but in the current situation we have no background reference to rely on.

As far as the possibility to manipulate the size of TCs window, etc. as you have wished for, the following commands can do the trick I think:

SetCursorPos(X, Y: int);
Will set the mouse cursor coordinates

MoveCursor(X, Y: int);
Will move the mouse cursor coordinates relative to the current position

*MouseClick(State: int);
Emulates mouse clicks. 0 = leftclick; 1 = rightclick; 2 = doubleclick;

* Implemention unfinished or unsatisfactory. Function will properly be removed or changed in future versions.

PS: Sorry for being of topic here!

That's true, maybe time brings some further info...

And thanks for your tips, I'll try it out and see if it works for me, I tried to batch the keystrokes to resize the window, but thats quite poor. If theres to discuss anythin more, I will post it in the plugins forum...

Just for the record!

Going back to the topic - thanks for these icons (and presented example of usage on screenshots)

[StickyNomad]

many thanks !

BTW, I want to create an icon for the command 'cm_SelectCurrentExtension' to select all files of the actual type, but I've absolutely no clue how to visualize this with a simple motif (esp for 16x16), so if some creative pals are strolling around here, I'd be happy to have some inspiration...

thx in advance...

  Hello !
• Something like this?

16*16 is really tiny to get a nice icon...

Thank you very much, Clo

Hm, I never thought about this solution, I think I'll try something like this, IMHO this icon is quite straight forward and says exactly what it means .

16*16 is really tiny to get a nice icon...

That sure is, there are damn few pixels to show off a bit, but I think its possible to achieve quite much with a decent choice of colors, because its too tiny anyway to draw something more complex (so that you still can recognize it fast, wich for me is the very important for Icons).

I prefer 16x16, because for me its most important that they don't occupy much screen space, and if I once figured out what the icons in a program mean, its not necessary to recognize them in detail (as long as they differ enough from each other, of course). But stay tuned, I already did a few of my Icons in 32x32 and I'll go on with it, but lets say with a speed of about 5 pixels per week, so it'll take a while...

Greets,
